The film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals, and is loosely based on the Greek myths of Theseus and the Minotaur and the Titanomachy.

Before the dawn of man or beast, immortals waged war against each other in Heaven. The victors declared themselves gods while the vanquished were renamed the Titans and imprisoned beneath Mount Tartarus. The Epirus Bow, a weapon of immense power, was lost on Earth during the war. In 1228 B.C., the mortal king Hyperion Mickey Rourke of Heraklion searches for the bow, intending to use it to release the Titans to get revenge on the gods for failing to save his family. Hyperion captures the virgin oracle Phaedra Freida Pinto, believing that she can use her visions to find the Epirus Bows resting place.In a small village nearby, the inhabitants prepare to flee to Mount Tartarus to avoid Hyperions army. One inhabitant named Theseus Henry Cavill is a skilled warrior trained by his mentor, a mysterious old man John Hurt. Theseus and his mother Aethra Anne DayJones, considered undesirables because Theseus was born from Aethra being raped, are forced to stay behind by Athenian soldiers including Lysander Joseph Morgan. Theseus ably battles multiple opponents until the Athenian officer Helios Peter Stebbings intervenes and discharges Lysander from the army for his actions. Lysander travels to Hyperion, offering his service and the villages location. Hyperion accepts, but hammers Lysanders testicles for being a traitor. Hyperions forces attack Theseuss village, murdering the villagers and Aethra, and taking Theseus captive. ........
